Surrey Quays regeneration draws in urban professionals

29th May 2015

The Evening Standard’s Homes and Property section profiles Surrey Quays. It says that striking architecture, fast links to Canary Wharf and a second phase of regeneration are pulling in young professionals and encouraging the newcomers to stay. The paper adds that the original of the area saw the network of canals create quiet and peaceful residential backwaters, while ecological parks and woodlands provided a green lung. While today Surrey Quays is entering a second phase of regeneration, with a striking new library, public square and luxury flats all been built. Developer British Land is also consulting on plans to redevelop the shopping centre, leisure park and the former Daily Mail printworks. Another key feather in Surrey Quays’ cap is that all the districts primary schools are judged to be “outstanding” or “good” by Ofsted.
